I like to take pictures of my food when I go out to eat, and I like to write reviews on my experiences. I enjoy my burgers well done, but still want them to be juicy and delicious. Burgers are not all that I eat, and I'm going to blog about whatever it is that I decide to order. I like trying new restaurants, as well as introducing friends to my favorite places. I think that good service goes a long way.

Don Pablo's - Classic Fajitas

Don Pablo’s seems to get mixed reviews, but honestly for me it one of
the most consistent Mexican chain restaurants. I feel like they have pretty
good specials and pretty good service, and for me the food is also the most
flavorful. Occasionally I frequent the location on International Drive.

The ATMOSPHERE… Very spacious with tons of tables and high
ceilings

The SERVICE… On our last visit our server Diego was fast and
efficient and the manager that came by to check on us was also very friendly

The FOOD… Fajitas, Quesadillas,
Enchiladas and Tacos, there are also plenty of Tex-Mex items like Ribs and
Steaks.

Their complimentary Chips and Salsa are pretty decent. The
Chips are light and crispy, and their Salsa is very flavorful, but not hot!
Perfect for my taste buds.

Usually for our starter we get the Queso Blanco Dip, it is
creamy and has a little kick to it.

They also have Monday – Thursday Specials. Our most recent trip was on a
Wednesday, so I decided on the Classic Fajitas (normally $12.99, but $9.99 with
this Wednesday special)

I chose the Chicken, which came out sizzling on a bed of grilled Onions
and Peppers. It was also served with soft Tortillas and a side dish containing
Lettuce, Pico, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Refried Beans and Rice.

I found that dipping the Tortillas down in the remaining
Blanco Queso was a really tasty way to start out making each Fajita. I spaced
out my Chicken Breast strips so that when it was all said and done I had eaten
5 different Fajitas (each one prepared a little differently). I left feeling
very full and satisfied.

Although there were 5
Orlando Area locations at one point, there are now only 2 locations left. I’m
unsure if they are doing well as a company, but I sincerely hope they make it
because I feel that you get a pretty good value for your money.
